Change Name To "ClosedAI", Elon Musk Tells Sam Altman's OpenAI. Here's Why

Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but stepped down from the company's board in 2018.

Billionaire Elon Musk recently sued OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman, the firm behind ChatGPT, accusing them of breaching contractual agreements made when he helped start the ChatGPT-maker in 2015. He alleged that they violated the artificial intelligence startup's founding mission by putting profit ahead of benefiting humanity. The Microsoft-backed company's focus on seeking profits breaks that agreement, lawyers for Elon Musk said in the lawsuit.

Now, the Tesla and SpaceX Chief has stated that he would drop the lawsuit against OpenAI if they agree to change their name to "'ClosedAI". Mr Musk said in a post on X, "Change your name to ClosedAI and I will drop the lawsuit." In subsequent posts, he said, "OpenAI needs to stop living a lie."

Further, he edited a picture of Sam Altam wearing a guest ID Card and changed the details of the card with the words "ClosedAI" alongside OpenAI's logo.
